Update metadata was reworked in the light of upcoming delta updates for DMG, NSIS, PKG and MSI. We cannot release breaking change, because even if user have old version of app, where electron-updater 1.x is used, app should be updatable.

New option mac.electronUpdaterCompatibility allows you to specify what level of electron-updater compatibility is required. By default >=1.0.0. For a new projects, value >=2.16.0 is recommended. For existing projects, that never used electron-updater 1.x, value >=2.15.0 is recommended.

If you want to stop producing useless and pointless ZIP for macOS auto-update — you should be able to do it easily, without solutions like "sorry, download app manually". The same about changing distribution type (NSIS <-> MSI, DMG <-> PKG).

Now update metadata format allows to implement it.

You must update electron-updater if you update electron-builder and vice-versa.

Currently, electron-builder 19.44.0 and electron-updater 2.16.0 tagged as next (pre-release).
